Current challenges with current diagnostics
- Not geared toward prevention, but for cure
- Assessment and management focus on the presentation of the consumer
- Lack of comprehensive health care planning to manage long term chronic health risks
- Lack of consumer awareness around lifestyle choices that may lead to chronic health risks
Questions to consider:
- Is there value in detecting risks of chronic health conditions prior to their development?
- Is there value to detecting predisposed health risks
- Can a thorough analysis of an individual’s risk of health comorbidities lead to better health awareness, monitoring, treatment and algorithms?
- Are we able to support complex specialty needs efficiently and effectively? E.g.
- Surgeons with critical comprehensive body functions before surgery
- Emergency health care workers test and develop comprehensive health assessment reports
- Provide real time critical health information to intensive care treating clinicians
Where is the gap?
- Availability of national data to allow detailed understanding of the use and outcomes from the vast range of digital health applications
- Address challenges of tracking health intervention experiences and individual pathways through the health system
- Adequate regulatory system intended to protect the health and safety of consumers, to prevent the development of insidious, chronic and entirely preventable illnesses
